      Gary Jules version is the best version

      source
      • gotrandom@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Agreed!

      That’s actually a slow, dark cover song written exclusively for that film. If you listen to the original version by Tears for Fears, it’s a much more energetic, happy-sounding song. You wouldn’t even know it was dark unless you were paying attention to the lyrics.

        Yeah I remember the Tears for Fears original, wasn’t a fan when I first heard it. It wasn’t until Michael Andrews/Gary Jules’ version that I became hooked.

        Or the minor key.

    Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.

    It’s a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. 😄

      This is the song that got me into rock and eventually metal

      I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.

        I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!

    Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.

    Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.

    Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie…
